lookup; I find this very distracting compared to a plain do-what-I-type
keyboard, and would welcome an easy way to turn this off
I'd still very much like to see a way to turn it off, so it works the
same for letters as for numbers. It's annoying 90% of the time because
most of the person or street names I need to enter into Contacts are not
going to be listed. I promise not to write my next 850-page book on my
Neo, so word lookup is of limited use. I suspect that Contacts, Todo
and Calendar is the most common use case for most people, and that
writing normal text is the least common for most people.

and how does turning it off help? that's my question? in the list of matches is
ALSO "exactly" what you typed with all its typos (or lack of them) so to enter
that - select it. i am just failing to see the need to turn it off? you may not
need it now as u are busy entering a mountain of contact stuff - but later u
will thank the lord for it. then again - maybe in your culture or social group
people don't sms much - i know that here sms is done much more often than
calls. :)
Sure, I rarely SMS. And, how to you "select it" when it's covered by the
right-facing arrow that pops up the entire list, in too-huge letters? :-)
I'd really like an option to just make it work the same for letters as
it does for numbers - one keystroke, one character in the input box.
I'm a good typist, really I am :-)
Also (this is hopefully a temporary bug), sometimes it doesn't actually
copy what you typed even when you select it from the list - letters get
transposed or doubled. I thought I was imagining this, but I'm not; I've
got a couple of witnesses now :-)
... Speaking of the app icons, I'd love to see a way to hide ones I'm
not using, and move ones I use frequently to a non-default order (my
five-year-old Blackberry has this feature, for one). This is probably
there and I don't know how, or something Carsten can do with a bit of
EFL code, right? :-)
you could maintain a .order file... as the apps are simply in a directory and u
see a filemanager view :) but really - this is getting into feature land we
don't need right now. as such the icon view mode is more temporary as the other
option (slide mode) is really hard to use. i don't intend to sink any more time
into icon view mode :)
I *really really* hope that icon view mode is not planned to "go away".
Even if it's just there as an option, I find it much easier personally.
I know illume is partly(?) your project, but I'm just sooo used to an
icon grid, - been using a Blackberry for years, and a Treo 600 for years
before that - thus many years of icon grids. I suspect I am not the
only one who likes icon grids in a phone (it's original-QTopia's only
mode, AFAIK), and the default on many other phones... Please keep it!!
